2K Sports announces MLB 2K13 set for March release

MLB 2K13 set for March release, says 2K Sports

Take me out to the ball game.

2K Sports made a surprise announcement Wednesday that MLB 2K13 is set for release this year on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

“We’d like to thank our league partners for their support in helping us reach an agreement to bring back MLB 2K,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports, in a statement obtained by blog Kotaku.

2K Sports also announced the return of the Perfect Game Challenge, which gives players a chance to win US$1-million if they can pitch a perfect game in front of a packed crowd. So far 2K Sports has awarded US$3-million to players.

However, there is no word on what new features the games will offer to players that will be different from the last release from the series one year ago.

But who’s on the cover of the MLB 2k13? It’s David Price, ace pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. He will be featured on the covers of both the Xbox and Playstation versions of the game.

Mr. Price is a left-handed starting pitcher for the team. He also received the prestigious Cy Young Award in 2012 after his best seasons with the Rays.

An ecstatic Mr. Price also tweeted about being featured on the boxart for the game.

My secret was that I was on the cover of #mlb2k13 !! I’m pretty excited about it…can’t wait for LA
